I create a drop down list like above . I want an editable drop down list where the user can put custom input if he d开发者_开发技巧oesn't find any suitable options . How can i accomplish that?

I had this exact problem last week. :) I used a JQuery plugin from chakrabarty JQuery plugin. From this, I figured out that all it needs is to tag one of the option fields, and it'll put it in. I'm assuming you're doing something like a form?
